a tiny bit obsessed with nail polish

NOTD: Nicole — Merry Merlot! Swatch & Review

So I lied. I couldn’t help trying out my new bottle of Merry Merlot!, especially since my CC Warming Trend mani had started to chip (my fault, as I didn’t use a base coat).

Merry Merlot is one of 4-6 new polishes in Nicole’s holiday collection this year. I say 4-6 because I can’t quite remember. I spent most of my time gawking at Merry Merlot. There was a pretty but not quite spectacular satin-y red shimmer, what looked like a white version of Merry Merlot (white with white microglitter), which I’m plotting to go back and get, and probably some pinks and bronzes but I don’t remember. Sorry, I was naughty!

Here’s Merry Merlot! in all her sparkly, deep red glory. Not as blinged-out as China Glaze’s Ruby Pumps, but just as pretty and festive. Holiday parties, here I come! Rating: 5/5.
